Hello there and happy spring!! I love the Rose Wonder Stamp Set and the Rose Garden Thinlits. They are gorgeous, but, for me, they can be time consuming. I generally like to emboss the rose and then watercolor it in, or even do the Stanied-Glass technique of gluing in all the pieces from the rose die. For this card though, I was looking for something a little quicker. I had a rose cut out from another project and thought I would try and use it as a stencil. And, voila! A beautiful rose in no time at all.
I simply held the rose down and sponged color over it, rubbing gently. I used Rose Red for the rose (how appropriate :-) ) and added a bit of Real Red to the center to give it some depth. And, as you can see in the photo above, I now have a colored die cut to use on another project. Double win!
Here's a list of supplies I used for this card. Don't forget to use the Hostess Code you see above when you place an order so I can send you some freebies.
Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
